Want to do a cognative bias test? create twenty fantasy words & names you think would represent the forces of evil and work out which letters occur in the most words (number of words with A, B,...) and compare them to the global linguistic map.

Conclusion: my cognative bias will probably be towards people with names and language originating in the A-R-O linguistic subgroup. For me they will be deemed unpleasant sounding.
A-R-O subgroup Sex % Dev. Chain
Cognative test - villain names 80% (A; R; O; E)
StarTrek Cardassians 71% (A; R; O; E; L; N)
• Tree 60% (A; R; O; E; T)
Hungarian M 58% (A; R; O; L; E)
• Wheel 51% (A; R; O; L; K)
If we assume that auditory discrimination is genetic, then we can distinguish between neanderthal, human, denisovan by the sounds they would find unpleasant.
